314.

Once the court hearing was over, Jungkook excused himself to go to the restroom. The session was finally over with the judge asking the other side to produce more evidence. Though it wasn't entirely a smooth ride, they made it out unscathed.

Attorney Kim patted his back, commending him for standing his ground while Myung engulfed him in a side hug, saying, "I knew you had it in you."

He moved away when he saw Na-Ra approaching Mr. Park. He told Kwan that he had to use the restroom, wanting to be anywhere else but near her.

The court restrooms were at the end of the second corridor to the right from where the sessions were held. One side was for the alphas while the other one was for the omegas. The betas had their own down the hall.

He scoffed when he saw the familiar "Purebred Omega" and "Regular Omega" signs on the designated doors. They even had separate toilets. Such were their societal standards. If not for good hearted people like Mr. Park, their situation would have been the worst. And Jungkook didn't want to think of their past history right now.

The restroom was empty save for the one omega that exited the room when he entered. It had three cabins and two sinks, surprisingly clean. As he shut the door behind him and entered the free cabin, he wondered how his relationship with Jimin was going to work in the long run.

It shouldn't bother him. He saw Attorney Kim and his mate Myung with his own eyes. Still, it wasn't going to be an easy path. Because unlike Attorney Kim and Myung, Jimin was filthy rich. Where there was money, there was always a problem. There would always be people who wanted to make use of Jimin's wealth in one way or another. And there would be more like Attorney Na and Na-Ra, who openly despised his kind.

Jimin was right. It wasn't going to be easy for him and his alpha wasn't going to be with him every hour of the day. He'd have to learn to protect himself. More like he'd have to harden his skin to face whatever was thrown at him.

As he was washing his hands after using the toilet, he heard the door open but lifted his head to see who had entered the room since he couldn't smell them. It was common for folks to use scent blockers in public places. It offered safety. For one, the others weren't able to easily tell their subgender unless they got too close and smelled the pheromones of their alpha or a family member. Only purebred wolves had the ability to identify them even without the pheromones. It was in their biology.

The omega froze when he saw who it was. He straightened immediately and whirled around, drying his hands on his pants instead of grabbing the paper towel as he planned to do earlier.

His brows furrowed as he slipped a hand inside his pockets. "You've come to the wrong toilet, sir," he said, tone firm. He grabbed his phone, blindly reaching for the spot where he thought the lock was.

The other man's lips curved up with a malicious smile. "I don't think so. I have come to the right place." Attorney Na's broad frame blocked the door so Jungkook wouldn't be able to walk past him even if he wanted to.

Jungkook heard a small pop sound of his phone unlocking and he quickly reached for the call button, praying that it worked. He was afraid the attorney would snatch his phone if he tried to pull the phone out and call someone in front of him.

The man looked imposing and there was no good intention in those predatory eyes. Jungkook tapped the upper right corner, hoping it'd dial the last called person as he considered his options. This was a public place. Attorney Na wouldn't dare doing something when anyone could walk in at any given moment.

Jungkook didn't let his increasing fear show. "No, you're not." He kept his voice steady. "I'll scream bloody murder if you don't leave this instant."

"Then scream." Attorney Na's face contorted with malice. "I'll tell them that you asked me to meet you here secretly and tried to seduce me."
